The WW domain binding protein 4 (WBP4) is part of the early spliceosomal complex, and it has been previously shown to enhance splicing both in vitro and in vivo, as well as to regulate alternative splicing. At the ESHG meeting, researchers from Hebrew University of Jerusalem presented data from a study that aimed to delineate WBP4 in the context of human pathologies.
The phenotypic variety of spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) not caused by CAG repeat expansion (polyglutamine SCA) is greater than expected. A collaboration directed by scientists of the Paris Brain Institute described seven variants of this disorder in 756 individuals, observing that age at onset and progression by gene and variant can occur from childhood to late adulthood with very different forms of the disease.
At the recent EAACI meeting, researchers presented preclinical data for the inflammasome inhibitor OLT-1177 (dapansutrile), which is being evaluated by Olatec Therapeutics LLC for the treatment of inflammatory diseases.
Elgen Therapeutics Inc. has described histone-lysine N-methyltransferase 2A (KMT2A, MLL1) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Chengdu Baiyu Pharmaceutical Co Ltd. has divulged poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1; ARTD1) inhibitors with improved blood-brain barrier penetration ability and reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Chia Tai Tianqing Pharmaceutical Group Co. Ltd. has identified proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) comprising cereblon (CRBN) ligands coupled to a Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) targeting moiety via linker and thus acting as BTK degradation inducers.
Chemokine (C-C motif) receptor 8 (CCR8), a member of the β chemokine receptor family, contributes to the recruitment and immunosuppressive function of regulatory T (Treg) cells within the tumor microenvironment.
